The exciting thing is there is a lot of research going on of how improve the ICE. Everything from fully electronic valve timing, to camless engines, to electrically assisted turbos.

i wonder if GM has ever considered doing a pushrod 4 based on their 5.7 litre v8. vibration might be acceptable/fixable; power, economy, and flexibility might finally put the Accord and Camry 4’s in their place.

EP..The Camry and Accord 4s are already IN THEIR PLACE. And GM’s 4s??

It is truly a testament to engineering excellence; like the CAT scan machine or the breast implant.

Rock On Gottlieb Daimler!

Honda provides a device with those cars to make hydrogen. The caveat it is it natural gas powered, so it’s not exactly cheap to produce the hydrogen when all is said and done.

Honda has a racing engine that is cam-less, but we know that the reliability is not there yet for road going cars.

I now have to satisfy myself with a Yamaha 115 two stroke outboard. Sadly it doesn’t rev to 10,000 rpm.

Or a Stirling powered Ford.

Alternately, I’d settle for a Wankel powered AMC Pacer. Maybe. OK maybe not.

Maybe I’ll get lucky and Honda will want to sell off the ex-lease Honda fuel cell FCX futuro-swoop burgundy jobs to a guy in the midwest, in a few years. Oh, wait, the hydrogen filling stations are in California.

Foiled again.

Seriously though, I’d like to see this thing in action. The sound alone should be hilarious and it’s hard to argue with that amount of power from that displacement. I’m hard pressed to believe this thing wouldn’t require some exotic emissions equipment to compliment it though.
